Prima lettura

Ruth 1:1, 3-6, 14b-16, 22

In the days when the judges judged, there was a famine in the land. A certain man of Bethlehem Judah went to live in the country of Moab with his wife and his two sons. Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left with her two sons. They took for themselves wives of the women of Moab. The name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other was Ruth. They lived there about ten years. Mahlon and Chilion both died, and the woman was bereaved of her two children and of her husband. Then she arose with her daughters-in-law, that she might return from the country of Moab; for she had heard in the country of Moab how the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread. They lifted up their voices and wept again; then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth stayed with her. She said, "Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law." Ruth said, "Don't urge me to leave you, and to return from following you, for where you go, I will go; and where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God my God. So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab. They came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.

Salmo responsoriale

Psalm 146:5-6ab, 6c-7, 8-9a, 9bc-10

Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD, his God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever; who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners. The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD raises up those who are bowed down. The LORD loves the righteous. The LORD preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down. The LORD will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!

Vangelo

Matthew 22:34-40

ED i Farisei, udito ch'egli avea chiusa la bocca a' Sadducei, si raunarono insieme. E un dottor della legge lo domandò, tentandolo, e dicendo: Maestro, quale è il maggior comandamento della legge? E Gesù gli disse: Ama il Signore Iddio tuo con tutto il tuo cuore, e con tutta l'anima tua, e con tutta la mente tua. Quest'è il primo, e il gran comandamento. E il secondo, simile ad esso, è: Ama il tuo prossimo come te stesso. Da questi due comandamenti dipendono tutta la legge, ed i profeti.
